Follow this recipe for a mouthwatering experience that will tantalize your taste buds.
- Blanch the green beans: Briefly boil the green beans in salted water for about 2-3 minutes and then immediately transfer them to an ice bath. This will help retain their bright color and crisp texture.
- Adjust the spice level: If you prefer a milder version, consider using fewer chili peppers or removing the seeds to reduce the heat.
- Use fresh garlic and lime: Fresh ingredients will provide the best flavor for your dressing. Pre-minced garlic and bottled lime juice may not give the same vibrant taste.
- Toast the peanuts: Briefly toasting the peanuts in a dry skillet until they are golden brown will enhance their flavor and add a delightful crunch to your salad.
- Make ahead: You can prepare the dressing in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Simply mix it with the blanched green beans when you're ready to serve.
